For those of us who write historical fiction, I think we also have a duty to readers to not perpetuate the myths and misconceptions taught in high school history class.<br /><br />The American Revolution, setting for my mysteries, was a time of tremendous religious diversity, yet many people have the mistaken impression that the vast majority of people in King George's colonies were Protestants. Here's an article I wrote about that diversity.

I think I can cite a book that teaches at the same time it entertains. Allegra Gray's, The Devil's Bargain. A Jewish woman who was chanting her prayers was thought to be a witch -- Allegra did a wonderful job of showing the villager's prejudice and ignorance.Donnell Ann Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943037206984648849noreply@blogger.com
